Not federated Lemmy instances? (lemmy.world)

Do you know any Lemmy instances not federated with other ones, living by themselves? Do you know any interesting or creative use case for a not federated instance?

well I’d say since non-federated Lemmy is just a forum with a bunch of stuff for federation that you won’t use

It's not the same as every other forum software, or even every other content aggregator.

with only one instance, it’s little more than a mediocre forum.

What would make it mediocre or not is the community, and pre-federation Hexbear, or even reddit itself, is proof that you don't need federation to have an active community, it simply makes it far easier.
